Mexican war and lost an arm in front OF
the CITY of Mexico. Afterwards he was
colonel of the Mounted Rangers in the
regular army and in the Confederate
army was major-general. He was known
to fame later as LoriDg, Pasha, chief OF
cavalry in the. service Of the Kbedfve
of Egypt, and in all his long career was a
peculiarly picturesque and thorough sol
der. He fought a brilliant action at

Fern guiG :.

Ferns are easily cultivated if few
practical details are observed. Grow
ing in their native habitats they are,
for the most part, found in shady posi-
tons, where, during their growing
period, they have abundance of mois-
ture at their roots; therefore, under
cultivation, shady window is for most
kinds more suitable than Il sunny one,
and during their season Of growth q
good supply of water at the roots is
demanded. While it is necessary for
their success to have an abundance of
water, they are at the same time impa-
tent to stagnant soil, and to prevent
ANYTHING of the kind occurring, perfect
drainage is Indispensable. Not only is
drainage necessary in the cultivation of
ferns, but it is also needed in the cul-
ture of all kinds of window and green
house plants after they have attained a
certain size. No plants do | know,
except aquatics, that succeed in soil
from which the water does not pass off
freely Plants growing in pots six
inches in diameter and over, should
have good drainage. This may be
done by placing over the hole in the
bottom of the pot piece of broken
pot, over this place more of the same
material in small pieces, instead of this
pieces of charcoal answer well. Fill
about one-fourth of the bot in this
manner, and over the top place some
moss or other rough material TO prevent
the soil from mixing with tho drainage.
and thereby preventing the water from
passing freely out.
The most suitable soil for ferns is a
mixture of garden loan and the black
soil found in the woods, about equal
parts of each, then with good sprink-
ling of sharp sand through the whole.
giving more il the loan is clayey and
less II sandy Tick's Magazine.

woods where he had been overseeing
his choppers, and pulled his skiff out
into tho stream. He knew that a
better point for crossing was opposite
Navy Island, little above; and he
rowed up toward il.
The weather was mild. and had been
for some days, and Clarke found the
river filled with floating ice. AS he
turned from the lower end of the
island and pushed out into the current.
he saw that the cakes of ice were large
and that some deXterty would be re-
CURED to pull around and among them.
But this did not trouble him he
thought he had been in just such sit
uation before. If anything did trouble
him, it was the fear that daylight
might be spent before he could reach
the opposite shore.
He had not rowed ten strokes when
he, found himself in narrow channel
between two great blocks of ice. Men
who use the oar upon this river are
quick of observation and Clarke sud-
denly suspended his rowing, as he saw
these ice-cakes slowly closing together
by the action of the current.
He unshipped an oar, and tried to
push one OF them of. The oar was
forced out of his hands, the blocks
closed together upon the boat and
crushed it between them into shape
less pile of kindlings. Warned of the
disaster, Clarke leaped in time, and
found himself safe for the present on
the ice.
If he had not thought and acted
quickly in that awful moment, no earth
" power could have saved him from de-
struction. He did not know what he
was Drawing when he left the shore-no
row boat could float amid the terrible
washing and grinding of this ice. He
knew he could expect no aid from the
shore. and he knew that he had begun
the fearful journey over the falls.
He looked toward the island. II was
not far away The lee block on which
he stood was very large; betweenit and
the one above was space of clear wa
ter; beyond that stretched the next ice
cake; and then there was another space
of water between it and the island.
The feat that he performed to save
himself was daring and desperate one.
and probably nothing but desperation
led him to attempt it,
He ran along the ice upon which he
stood, and made frantic leap. He
said afterward that the distance, what
ever it was, seemed to him greater than
any man could jump but he struck the
next iceberg foot from the water. Not
pausng an instant he ran on to the
next block,
1t was ut least twenty feet from the
shore of the island. Never stopping to
pull off coat or boots, he plunged into
the icy stream, and breasting the cur
rent, swan rapidly to the shore. His
knowledge of the locality enabled hin,
to find the house of the only occupant
of the island at that time, before whose
blaz ng log-frc he was soon warmed
and dried. Clarke owed his preserva-
ton to a presence of mind and prompt.
ness Of action which few would exhibit
in the face of sach peril.
